Hi there,
I purchased a N.O.S Randall RM20B combo at the end of June this year. Sadly the shop was closing down so they were selling off remaining stock. I have used the amp for 2 gigs and some recording since purchasing with no issues.
Today I was recording with the amp in silent mode direct to my audio interface via the XLR output as I have done a few times before. After about 5 minutes the signal dropped significantly followed by some popping noises and then no sound at all. I immediately powered the amp down. After 10 minutes I changed the modules to rule out that as the issue. Still no sound and a humming sound from the speaker when in live mode, again I immediately powered down. I think there was a slight smell of 'electrical burning' similar to a motor being used which is leading me to believe the output transformer is at fault although I'm not certain.
I don't understand how this could happen as the manual clearly states that you can run the amp in silent mode in this way and I have had no problems doing this before. Can anyone suggest a reason why this would happen? Or what might be at fault?
Cheers
